Online Application Window Opens
The Department of Agriculture in Uttar Pradesh has unveiled a fresh round of subsidised farm‑machinery bookings, running from 12:00 PM on 7 October 2026 until midnight on 20 October 2026. Eligible growers can submit their requests via the department’s dedicated web portal.
What Equipment Is Included?
The initiative covers a broad array of modern tools aimed at boosting Indian agriculture and reducing reliance on manual labour. Principal categories feature:
- Farm Machinery Banks
- Custom Hiring Centres (projects up to ₹30 lakh)
- Agricultural drones
- Standalone farm implements
- Crop‑residue management solutions
- Machinery for maize and millet cultivation
- Protective gear for agricultural workers
Step‑by‑Step Application Guide
Farmers should visit the official website, locate the Kisan Corner, and click on the “Machinery Booking” link. A concise online form will then capture the required details. Comprehensive data on each eligible item, exact subsidy rates, and the full application workflow are available on the portal.
Assistance and Support
If any issues arise that cannot be solved online, cultivators are encouraged to approach their local district Agriculture Department office. Officials there can provide personalised assistance and resolve technical queries.
Why This Programme Matters
By offsetting the cost of contemporary equipment, Uttar Pradesh aims to speed up mechanisation, lift farm productivity, and curb the environmental damage caused by crop‑residue burning. Launching the scheme just before the Dussehra festivities gives farmers a timely chance to upgrade their tools ahead of the upcoming sowing season.
